History
NeoSpeech was founded in August of 2002 by industry
veterans Dr. Lin Chase and Dr. Yoon Kim with the goal of providing
innovative technology and applications that are based on human-machine
interfaces that are ubiquitous, multimodal and interactive.
NeoSpeech has quickly established its position as the fastest growing
startup in the speech industry, showcasing its world-class technology with
commitment to ultimate customer satisfaction. We are a privately held
company headquartered in Mountain View, California.
The main investor in NeoSpeech, Inc. is Voiceware Co.,

were from LG, combining 15+ years of basic speech R&D expertise from LG
Institute of Technology with management experience in global software business
from LG Soft. Voiceware enjoys immense brand recognition as the pioneer and
market leader of speech technology in Korea, and went public in June of 2002, in
